Hey gang. I'm happy to let you know that Swedelife will have an additional editor to help keep up the pace of a song a day (which I know is sorely lacking). Patrick Goddard will now be posting tracks from the collective as well as many from the friends of the collective. As we grow, I think it's important for Swedelife to support other artists and bands beyond the core group. So please join me in welcoming Pat... and stay tuned for tons of more stuff coming from Swedelife!
